Omega Summoner

“I would like to meet that Dragon Rider friend of yours. It is quite a feat to be able to mount a dragon that is only spoken in myths. Hohoho! To think these old bones would be able to hear such stories.” Elder Leila stated as she tapped her Roc to finally descend.

The area that they are descending upon is the most desolate area in the western continent. It is also the forbidden zone in the western continent called the Mirage Desert. The group could also reach this part of the desert, but they would have sacrificed some members on the way because the monster in these areas starts at Level 280.

Creepysoo inadvertently passed a secret test conducted by Elder Leila and even build great favorability with the tribe which is why she personally escorted them to the site. If Creepysoo was not as innocent and a chatterbox without filter, then they would have only been told about parts of the story and then sent to the Mirage Desert for the rest.

“Your Roc is definitely extraordinary, Grandma Leila. To think that it could carry us all the way here and even scare other flying monsters that try and attack us.” Creepysoo praised wholeheartedly.

Elder Leila looked at her Rockie with endearing eyes as she raised this bird just when it was a hatchling. It was not even a Roc back then as it was merely a small desert eagle that was abandoned by its mother. Desert Eagles only raise one of the young ones and they would often be put to battle at one year old to determine who will get the rights.

Those that lose the battle could either die or surrender but those that surrender will need to fend for themselves. The small desert eagle chick that the young Leila nurtured back then was the weakest of its brothers and sisters, but it has evolved into a Roc thanks to Leila. To the Roc, Leila is more than just a master, but it is also its greatest savior.

“These look like ruins? But why is it that this is the only area that could be said to be untouched. Even the walls of the entrance look like it is not getting wore down by the sands of time.” Solstice stated.

“These ruins are enchanted. You might also get lost if I am not present here as this ruin reacts to the mana of our tribe. The Maat tribe blessed by the Goddess Maat herself as her blood runs in our veins. You could say that our tribe are descendants of the Goddess, but we just go by a no named nomadic tribe now due to the events of the past.” Elder Leila stated. .

Elder Leila then called for them to enter the ruins, but they had to hold each other’s hands. As they passed through the door of the ruins, they could feel that they passed through something like a thin film. It was none other than the barrier deployed in the ruins to identify if the one entering is friend of foe.

With Elder Leila present, the defensive mechanisms of the ruins did not activate which is why they reached the center. In the center of the ruins is a grand statue of a beautiful woman holding the Scales. It is none other than the Goddess Maat as she is depicted as the goddess of truth and justice. It is also the reason why those born with the special eye in the Maat Tribe can determine the truth.

“We have always been blessed with the power to subvert the truth of the world even though it is only temporary.” Elder Leila stated.

“You mean to say that you cannot really control gravity but reverse the truth that gravity is weak?” Vayu asked as he immediately knew what she meant by subvert the truth of the world.

“You are correct as we do not possess the real capabilities of bending time and space like the Daemos. We merely borrow the power of the Goddess Maat by using mana to temporarily affect persons, things or areas. This ability does incur great strain and great mana consumption to the caster, but it has been the trump card of our tribe.” Elder Leila stated.

“For you to say the greatest power of your tribe! It must mean that you trust us fully. We will not betray your trust, Grandma Leila.” Creepysoo stated as he bowed while the others did so as well.

“Shall we start with the story then? I shall continue on how the greatest rider of our tribe came to be.” Elder Leila stated.

Due to how long the story has been, even the true name of the Maat Rider has been forgotten in time. The Maat Rider was born as a weak girl, but she had a special gift and that was she had more of the Goddess Maat’s blood running through her. She was only predicted to survive at the age of ten but beat all the odds by enduring the pain of her transformation.

She did not immediately get a mount at the age of five like the rest of the kids as she needed to stabilize her body. She did get the best mount possible in the whole western continent and that is a Tulpar. One could say that she had a fateful encounter with a wounded adult female Tulpar and its young child.

The mother Tulpar felt the sincerity and pureness of the soul of the Maat Rider and entrusted its young to her. The Desert Scourge, which is a legendary beast of the desert that only has the form of sand, is tracking the Tulpars as food back then in order to attain greater strength.

Seeing that the mother Tulpar could not fight the Desert Scourge with her own power, the Maat Rider activated her bloodline ability and reverted the truth of the world. She whispered to the world that the Desert Scourge is nothing but a weak desert storm.
